		</div><p>A small plane carrying parachutists has crashed in northern Sweden soon after takeoff, killing all nine people on board.</p>
<p>The accident took place a little after 2pm local time on Storsandskar island.</p>
<p>Swedish media quoted witnesses reporting that some of the parachutists were seen trying to jump off the plane just before the crash.</p>
<p>Swedish airport authority Swedavia said the crashed aircraft was a GippsAero GA8 Airvan, an Australian-made single-engine plane popular with parachutists, that took off from Umea Airport.</p>
<p>The cause of the crash is not yet known.</p>
<p><em>“I can confirm that all those aboard the plane have died,”</em> Region Vasterbotten municipality spokeswoman Gabriella Bandling said.</p>
<p>One witness told Swedish broadcaster SVT she heard a loud noise from above before she saw the plane going straight down and crashing into the island.</p>
<p>Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Lofven expressed “great sadness” over the accident in a statement to Swedish news agency TT.</p>
<p>He sent condolences to the families of the victims and said the government would stay in close touch with officials probing the crash “as it is important to investigate the cause”.</p>
